@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social T.S. Elliot being a sherif would explain the first draft of The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock which contained the line “In the room the women come and go Talking of Django”

They’re only words but words that are worth reading

This looks like a good offer. Should I bite?

@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social Did your guest just say that the “demand for balaclavas has exploded”?

To SPF or not to SPF

@ringerverse.bsky.social Club 48 - Andor 🔥

@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social Totally agree with you about people burying their faces in their phones. I find it particularly sad when I’m out and about in my local park or the Botanic Gardens and other beautiful and sometimes historic spaces. At a time when we’re being advised to connect with nature

Apart from the appalling accent work from Helen Mirren on Mobland she’s having to deliver some awful lines. “If you touch one hair on my Brendan’s head…”. *this would be the completely bald Brendan

The Danger Daughter

If the demand is so high can’t BorrowBox make more copies available? It’s a digital recording. I would have thought it would be easy to create multiples 🤷‍♂️

What a cracking read. Debut novel from Ferdia Lennon. Part Monty Python with a Roddy Doyle/Kevin Barry vernacular and an underlying Greek tragedy. Beckett on Es and wizz.

@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social I’m already checking the calorific content of a glass of wine without lashing a scoop of ice-cream into it

Bald man grows beard so he can go to barbers. *Business idea - record store/barber shop fusion. Lifetime member @seanmoncrieff.bsky.social

Look who just popped up in Andor. Gilou from the brilliant French tv series Spiral…also aired on BBC

@antonsavage.bsky.social I’m sure Anton thinks he’s Jeremy Paxman but he’s presenting a light entertainment show on @newstalkfm.bsky.social . I have previously praised Anton, but this ‘interview’ with Kneecap manager is embarrassing.

I think that I just heard @seanmoncrieff.bsky.social ask the expert if the penises(?) displayed on the bayeaux tapestry needed “touching up”. Sean asks the hard questions.

We live in Covfefe times

Seriously UPS! You couldn’t lift the lid and put it in the bin on this rainy morning?

Who was that grumpy aul shite reviewing films on @rteone.rte.ie Arena? The bloke. Not the lovely lady.

@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social A photo I took using a medium format camera outside Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson. I waited until I had everyone in the frame moving in different directions. Paris is great for street photography but watch out for the angry clown outside Centre Pompidou

This Dubai chocolate was a gift. A tasty gift. An expensive tasty gift. Out of respect I ate it all in one sitting.

Let me tell you that the Dubai chocolate wasn’t the tastiest and certainly not the best value of this selection

Cowboys in India. #scammers #happyeaster I toyed with variations of “Scam and Eggs” for the day that’s in it

@irishtimes.com Is there no Ticket with today’s Irish Times. I get a Saturday delivery and there was no Ticket included.

Golf was the real winner…as they say. Also Ireland. *I neither play nor watch the sport

In anticipation of Rory’s glorious victory

Are we all signing up for Sky sports tonight to cheer on Rory?

“Once Upon a Brian”. The title of my memoir and my campaign slogan.

@seanmoncrieff.bsky.social So when her friends lose a parent does she pay them back?

The hotel spa. Where men go to lose their dignity in the ill-fitting robes and slippers made of paper only to be rewarded with a fruit kebab and some herbal beverage

Influencers holding lapel mics. They’re on the list 😡

Dja know what Disney+? You’re right. I’ve already watched it…just like all the other recommends you throw at me.

One week before my birthday. Where am I going to get my Black Forest Gateau?
